Interesting. The NHL draft pages certainly have him as born in London but Elite Prospects has him as born in Maple, Ontario and hockeydb has Weston, Florida.

I suppose the NHL site is more likely to be accurate. He's probably like former Bruin Byron Dafoe: born in the UK but emigrated to Canada (or the US) at an early age and well before he started playing hockey.

If not British trained then hopefully he might qualify through birth for our National team assuming he's never represented Canada.. Could help GB out next year!_________________www.photoboxgallery.com/warrencook

Cody Payne is in Boston at Development Camp following the Draft.
His hockey history does not appear to be rooted in the UK.
He WAS born in London, UK so he is a Brit, however, he moved to Florida at a young age (don't know exactly when) but his first hockey was on roller skates in Florida.

He was the lad who stood out in the Spengler Cup at the beginning of the year. He has been playing in the Czech Republic since the age of 12 I believe? Was rated quite highly amongst European Skaters for the NHL Draft but went unpicked?
